How to get Pack Hourglasses in Pokémon TCG Pocket
One Pack Hourglass skips one hour. I tracked the public sources on Game8 and I separated Wonder Hourglasses and Event Hourglasses so the shop list stays readable.
| Source | Amount | Cadence | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solo first clear | Beginner 2, Intermediate 3, Advanced 5, Expert 7 | Once per battle | 1 source · Game8 |
| Level up | 12 | Each level | 1 source · Game8 |
| Ticket shop | 1 for 2 tickets (stock 10); 6 for 12 tickets (stock 10) | Monthly refresh | 1 source · Game8, shop can change |
| Wonder Hourglass | Daily gift 1; themed collections 12 / 24 / 48 | Separate item | 1 source · separate item, not a pack skip |

Spend or save
I would finish one playable 20-card list before I stockpile hourglasses for a future set. Opening with no target is how the ticket shop looks busy. The Pack Hourglass article I used was last touched by Game8 on 1 Apr 2025, so the shop stock is the cell most likely to drift. Checked against that page on 2 Nov 2026.
Event Hourglasses belong to event stamina. They are not a secret stack of pack skips. Wonder Hourglasses refill Wonder Pick. Three names, three jobs.
FAQ
What is the best hourglass source?
First-clear solo rewards plus the 12 per level are the repeatable numbers I can cite. The shop is a ticket trade with a monthly cap.
Should I save for the next set?
Save after you have a list you can play. C2’s date is still an estimate, so I would not empty the account for a name that is not announced.
